KYIV (QHA) -

Plant for the production of solar panels is expected to be built by the end of 2019 in the city of Vinnitsa, the press service of the State Energy Efficiency reported.

“Construction of the plant is planned in Vinnitsa with two stages of 200 MW each. The second stage is planned to be completed already in 2019,” the report says.

The plant plans to produce panels with total cost of about $ 180 million a year and employ 400 people.

"Such a plant for the production of solar panels is a significant contribution not only to Ukrainian solar energy, but also to the economy of the region, job placement for the population, development of the domestic industry," the press service quotes Sergei Savchuk, head of the State Energy Efficiency Agency.
